We had 67 girls last Tuesday. Crazy.
I went to Whole Foods today 'cause I haven't been there in a while. I hate Whole Foods, I just had to remind myself why. I found this article on the web that sums up how I feel perfectly. "Whole Foods is a cult. The whole notion of organic foods is cultish. Genetically-engineered foods aren’t more dangerous than organic hybrids, at least not according to almost every reputable scientific organization on the planet (i.e. the NAS and the WHO). And chemical fertilizers aren’t more dangerous than slathering crops with cow dung.
But what’s truly galling is that Whole Foods pretends to be pro-environment, when the opposite is true. By only supporting organic foods with far lower crop yields than typical foods, they ensure that more farmland will be needed to grow food. That means less wilderness and fewer wildlife habitats. Of course, the lefties don’t seem to care much about this — at least not when they’re kvetching about "agribusiness."
The worst part is that Whole Foods wants to get the government involved. They want to require labeling of all non-organic foods, even though it has been consistently shown that genetic-engineering of crops poses no prevailing danger, nor does the use of chemical pesticides. So why do they want this? Presumably to scare folks off from normal supermarkets and into their dung-smothered organic paradise. That’s the kind of low business practices that should scare off any truth and freedom-loving consumer" -Owen Courreges http://lonestartimes.com/2005/03/13/yes-texas-whole-foods-is-a-cult/
Not to mention their prices are ridiculous-especially for their store made stuff. $7.00 for some gummy looking falafel balls? No thanks. Plus, the tangelos that I bought there are horrid; their fancy decor and pretty displays can't fool me.
